CPU/MOBO Help

[CurtisLee14]

I’m currently running a I5-9600 and ASUS Z390-P with 16gb @ 3200mhz and a Gigabyte 3060ti, recently my MOBO has died and I’m finding it difficult to replace. So I have decided to buy a new MOBO/CPU. My question is with a budget of £250 what’s going to give me the best Price/ Performance. It’ll be used for gaming only and I don’t have a preference on AMD or Intel

 

many thanks

You could start with an AM4 5600 or an Intel 12400 so you keep your DDR4

How did it die ?

No debug lights or fans spinning?

You could save the additional cooler on that list, at least for a start.

In my opinion MBs don't die except if you mishandle them. I'd troubleshoot it.

The wraith stock cooler isn’t great, and the thermal paste on it is subpar. I have a 5600 and I hit 65 degrees at 30% usage and with a 3060 ti that’ll be higher, that’s why I put in the ps120se
